About the Drawing & Painting Courses

 

. Personal development is a ‘Soul Compendium’ ( Developing Art across Artist- sketchbook, drawing and painting - paper and canvas )

 

. With Fine Arts vocabulary, these courses are structured with lead-in activities, focused content and a natural build for Beginners and those with previous tuition and studio artmaking experiences.

 

.There is ‘Seeker’ territory ‘in’ course content, inspirational teacher dialogue & ongoing elements throughout each Course to ‘awaken the fire’ for your own art dialogues & creative practice.

 

.Suits Life-long Learners. Those seeking experiential & personal development create art that is technical & conceptual. Motivation & Inspiration are two key teacher ingredients throughout each course.

 

.The Course gives Artists that are enrolled individual ‘time & space’ in their own practice, with prompts and inspiration forwarded from someone who has a diverse, technical expertise, professional experiences in art and an awareness for Aesthetics, Conceptual motivations across history and Spiritual focuses in the Energy.

 

.Connections to other Creative Processes & Artistic terrain Appreciation are referenced, including: Writing, Poetry, Music, Dance, Energy Work. Learners are only asked to focus on the Primary Focus of Artmaking in Drawing & Painting.

 

.It is recommended to complete all 3 courses for overall benefit, knowledge development, practical evolution and application of concrete ideas.
